Hi,
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4
SCH-1545
4.2.2
1545VRUAME7
I rooted it way back and the phone has been great. But many apps i want no longer work with this software version.
I reset the phone to factory but am unable to update the firmware. It checks and says there is new firmware and i download it and try to install it but when the phone reboots it says the download/update failed.
Is my phone not fully unrooted even with the factory reset ?
when i boot the phone it does have the lock icon and says custom ?
do i need to restore through Odin or something ? all the link i find are dead.
thanks

I need help from you guys. I have a tmobile galaxy s4, I was rooted with cm11 4.4.2 and I tried to unroot to stock with odin and a firmware, but I fail and got a soft brick the first time. I download different odins and firmwares and finally got it to work, PASS I have stock 4.2.2 m919uvuemk2. but when it restarted I tried to delete wipe cache partition and reboot like it ask me to but it didn't work. Every time I reboot phone it gives me a message before it turns onit says kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit kernel. My phone works fine except the wifi, it doesn't turn on. the devise status still say CUSTOM and I can not software update it says your devise your devise has been modify. I checked for root access and there is none. what can I do to fix this problems, should I reroot and use triangle away to delete the BINARY AND KNOX messages and after try to use a 4.3 firmware instead of 4.2.2. I want to have a complete stock phone that I can do OTA updates. Can some one please give the steps and point me in the right direction so I can take care of this problems. Thank You...
My SGH-I337 (ATT GS4) has been rooted for a month or two now but lately it's been having issues so I tried to restore it to stock. But, I manually removed the root via SuperSU so I would be able to update to 4.4 (I've been stuck on 4.2.2 because I was never notified 4.3 came out). Every time I update OTA it fails at 25%, so I tried via Kies. My firmware isn't even supported to update like that. I tried unrooting with Odin but that also didn't work. I've restored it to factory settings now, but the boot image still says custom and I can't use Yellow Triangle because that doesn't support locked AT&T basebands (which I read is unfixable). Is there ANY way I can fix this and get 4.4????
TL;DR
My phone is too rooted to OTA update but not rooted enough for Odin to work and I want KitKat

Hi guys,
I rooted my phone a month ago using Kingo Root, it works fine. So I un-rooted now and restarted the phone and it says "custom" when I go to Settings - Status, etc.. I factory reset the phone and it still says custom! weird.
I don't know why this is happening, when I had an S4 and used Kingo Root to root it says custom but upon un-rooting the phone returned to Normal.
Does anyone have a stock recovery img to flash? or a way to solve this? I would like to be able to check for updates.
I have the C101 International version.
Thanks
Have you tried installing a stock ROM with Odin software? It should resolve the problem! have you tried it?
Okay so i have Galaxy S3 i747 for AT&T. I had downgraded it from 4.2.1 to 4.1.1 using a guide from this site for unlocking the device. Now I wanted to upgrade to the latest version. Now OTA was not available on the phone. So I used Odi3n to manually install the firmware, and after the phone restarted from completing the flash and it showed succeeded and went to the install screen. It finished and never turned back on, I have tried the SD card debrick but it doesn't seem to work. This is also my work phone so if anyone could please help me! I am out of ideas
i have a SCH I545 (verizon s4) and i am currently running kit kat 4.4.2 version vrufnk4 with kernal version 3.4.0. I was once rooted but i am no longer rooted and as far as i know everything is stock except the recovery which seems to be different than what i remember was on the phone from factory. The phone also boots with a logo saying custom with an unlocked pad lock. The recovery says android system recovery <3e> at the top and in the middle is an android dude with a red triangle on him and under him it says no command . I had cwm recovery on the device when i was rooting it but don't remember if i got rid of it or left it but i don't believe this is cwm recovery or the factory recovery. But here is my issue, i wanted to update to the new lollipop via the OTA update verizon has issued for my phone and the update came in 2 parts the first part upgraded kit kat to vrufnk4 and the 2nd update was suppose to be the actual lollipop update. The first update to vrufnk4 did fine but when i try the 2nd update to lollipop GOC1 i believe is what it is the instal fails every time. I did try a factory reset via the boot recovery but that did not help.
Thanks for any help you can give me I'm so lost as to what to do to fix this and i just want lollipop on my phone for now possibly root the phone later if i get bored until i can get a s6 edge.
Did you ever get an exact answer? I'm in the exact same situation and don't want to brick my phone. Thanks... back to searching.
I figured it out l. When you plug you phone into your computer there is a Verizon update that pops up you will need to update your phone using that and it will work like a charm. But it's like Verizon updater or something I can't remember but it pops up when you plug your phone in or it did for me. Hope that helps!
